I don't know exactly the current status of sgmltools package. When I
used this format there weren't some features - picture support for
example. The my problem is that I don't need sgml source. I need only HTML
text (for WWW) and some printable format (PostScript or PDF). Each
conversion loses some information. It's my experience.

I'm opened for other ideas, but I want to see the result before switching
(converted alsa-lib documentation).
